stockade

A Look at Nashville’s History Nashville was first established as a settlement along the banks of the Cumberland river in 1779, when a band of pioneers led by Englishman James Robertson first cleared the land and built a stockade.

It was Korea, and I served three years—half of it in the stockade.

I lay against a corner of the stockade seat, listening to the wind whispering and to the ceaseless drip-drip of the trees.

I returned alone to the stockade, and for a long time after that kept the fire blazing, and sat up smoking and thinking.

"We should put a stockade of logs across the neck of land on that side," answered Champlain.

A stockade half bars the river of Plouernel, and serves as a shelter for the barges of the seigneur.

We had no form of shelter, and there was no stockade around the camp, only a guard and a dead-line.
